• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EEWMSDSM004 - Planning strategy group for disaggregation does not exist ?

  The SAP error message EEWMSDSM004 indicates that there is an issue with the planning strategy group for disaggregation in the context of SAP's Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or similar modules. This error typically arises when the system is unable to find a valid planning strategy group that is required for the disaggregation process.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Planning Strategy Group: The specified planning strategy group does not exist in the system. This could be due to incorrect configuration or missing entries in the relevant tables.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the planning strategy may not have been set up correctly, leading to the system being unable to find the necessary group.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or planning data that prevent the system from recognizing the planning strategy group.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was recently transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly, leading to missing entries.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings in SAP (transaction code SPRO) and navigate to the relevant area for planning strategy groups.
  Ensure that the planning strategy group you are trying to use is defined and correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Planning Strategy Group:
  
  If the planning strategy group does not exist, you may need to create it. This can be done in the configuration settings.
  If it exists but is not set up correctly, modify the settings to ensure it meets the requirements for disaggregation.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Verify that the master data (such as material master, info records, etc.) is correctly set up and that the planning strategy group is assigned where necessary.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly.
  If needed, re-transport the configuration or manually create the missing entries.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to planning strategy groups and disaggregation for any specific requirements or known issues.
  
  
  
  Testing:
